WARD OF FARRINGDONT WITHOLIT. Mr. _Monty ti Tit presented a petition from between 40 and LA inhabitants of the above !Mined ward, praying that the number of the rePresentatives of the ward in the Common Council might not be increased. Mr. STEVENS 13id, the petition was opposed to the senti ments of the majority of the inhabitants of the ward, Who ear. nestly desired that the number of their representatives should be augmented so as to bear some proportion to the numerical amount of the electors. The petition plowded from the cne-4, tales of refdrtn, and he t. as given toundit - stand that even the few signatures which were attached to it were not properly ob taine. Mr. RAVE Lt. thought that the petition should be referred to a committee, that inquiry might be made as to the manner in which it was got up. Mr. STEVENS then presented a petition signed by 300 in.. habitants of the ward, setting forth that the number of their representatives was too small, and praying that it might be augmented, so 115 at least to be On a par with that of other wards wltose inhabitants were not more numerous or respectable than those of the ward of Farringdon IVithout. After a short conversation, both petitions were referred to the Committee of General Purposes. NEW WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. Mr. OLDHAM presented a report from tin; 64 - Lands Com. mittee, and which stated, that the tees at present paid for stamp. ing the weights and measures m the City were inadeq ua t e , lan d that the committee had therefore proposed a uew list, at an Hi. creased rate.—The report was agreed to. CITY LIBItAIt Y. Mr.JoxEe presented a report from the Library Committee, which stated that they had made considerable progress in the formation of a library. Amongst other acquisitions they had collected a considerable number of valuable works relative to the antiquities, history, laws, manners, and customs of the city and of the borough of Southwark. A n opportunity now presented itself to the committee of purchasing a set of the London Gazette down to the ; 171. e. The committee were very desirous to purchase this &lament, which was of great importance to the city, both in a commercial and historical point of view, but the funds in the bands of the committee were insufficient for the purpose. The sum required was AO guineas. The Court authorized the Committee to draw upon the Cor• porarion for the sum required. Mr. litcx observed, that various remains ofantiquity, which had from tune to time been discovered in the city, had been dis persed for want of a proper place in which to deposit them. He therefore moved that it should be referred to the Com mittee to provide a room adjoining the library, for the reception of such antiquities as might be found or procured, connected with the city or the borough of Southwark.—The motion was agreed to. 1 11)11THPIRLD•MAIIK ET. Mr. SLADt called the attention of the Cintrt to Smithfield market. lie described the annoyance which was °maimed by thecattle, and the general noise and obstruction in the thorough fares leading to the market ; and concluded by moving, that it be referred to a Committee to examine and report on the practl. cability of removing the' market for cattle now held In Smith field to some more commodious place. !r.

There really-was no know- ing how tar they might gallop on their hobby of improvement. !)—Perhaps they would take it into their heads that it would render their city more quiet to remove the Royal Ex. change.—(Hear !)—For his part, he liked the crowed streets, the obstruction and even the dirt which was occasioned by great traffic, better than all the modern improvements.- (Ap. plause.)-..11e should be sorry to see the streets of London as clean and quiet as those of York. He moved the previous question as an amendment. Several other members opposed the motion, which was ire. gatived by a large majority. A petition was presented, praying for the charitable aid of the Court on behalf of the sufferers at Aliramich!, which WAS referred to the Committee of (lateral Purposes, POLICE INTELLIGENCE. 3JANSION:IIOITsE : Baron Joseph Fe;11,; the Spanish service, and during the struggle of the Spanish Constitution a list a Governor of the fortress of Lerida, came to the Justiee-roont yesterday, after the Lord Mayor had retired, for the purpose of borrowing a few shillings, of which he declared, but without betraying any symptom of dejection in his countenance or manner,. he stood greatly in need. Mr. nobler and the Colonel, whose condition might be sup posed to have reached the climax of Misery, entered i nto 'conversation from which the following, particulars were col lected _ _ The noble Spaniard, whose landed estates had produced to him 80,000 francs annually, joined the Constitutional army when it became necessary to snake sacrifices to the cause, and Wali engaged in rnostof the battles which took plac e h i hi, unfortunate country.

To doing this, Mr. loblet felt some difficulty, !on ac.: count of his comparatively indifferent knowledge of the French language, with which the Colonel is perfectly well acqu a i nte d ? The loan was accepted most gratefully - GUILDHALL. , 'Yesterday George Rrtnsnni, Stephen Collings lrin, Poky, and Richard &may, were brought up before 11/r.

There is in all 'this.a mystery not easily to be' penetrated. The procures which have been officially put forth are too weak to e 07.491 even 'the - most - common mnlerstatulings. The letters, receipts, suppleinents, manifestoes,' under colour of which this - abdication 'has "been advanced, are, perhaps the most dr' yelliftg and contradictory that we're ever trinde.to Shelter an extraordinary event. If Constantine Is, its he informs tts. so Utterly incapable of empire, why did lie accept, anti that too, against the.constitu• :lion, the poor governs sot of Polartd.? Why l i r " he date from . a throne that it. is unfit to be a king ?' Why,' too, does he reserve in his rejec tions of tire full hafnium of despoti the toise.i rablecruMb of a pn rtialand subordinate authority? By what rule of reason, besides, are a mighty • people to be tanght to believe that a governor of Mature age, of - tried capacity, and of large expee Hence is (pile unable' to command them—while they are on to obey a raw, obscure, and irreg., solute youth, in the known leading-strings Cif ata ambitious mother ? Why is it, if tlkis resignation be really so old, that the Minds of the people, and the army were not long ago prepared for it ?' Why is it that A lexander himself is made so readily to accept the rejection of his. hest soldier and most favoured relative ? How are we to be told, too, that this old and irrevocable resolutioo, was never previously sig. !dried in public or in private, by the slightest writing or declaration Arid how are we to inut , gine, as is insinuated by the. Grand Doke cholas himself, that he, the person most 'favoured and most concerned, Was kept altoeether igno rant of hiar StleeeSsloll ?' Why was tilt stale 'mgt... entry of a proclamation gone through at all in fas your or consenpane ; or beinggone through, why' was. he not hims e lf u p on th e spot to explain and fortify his renunciation ? Either there is great, falsehood or great blundering in all this. There• is in it either a total falsehood, the fit Punish-• mentor mitich would be the total deprivation of that crown which has thus been tossed about like a bauble without a master—or a blundering the. most insolent and disrespectful to the feelings' and goverment of a mighty nation which has yet been written down in the history of the world. Is it not awful that the succession to o throne, the most ,important: of a ll even t s i n at country where,that throne is absolute, should be treated as an affair of mere sportive adoption in which fifty millions of subjects have no cause of inquiry or concern ? What , are we to ex pect from the interference in other peoples' at fairs, of a race who seem to think their native population born to no rights but despotism, to no, duty hot obedience ? Bat, these perions, whatever unconditional authority they breathe o r have beep bred in, must have a serious care. The army' has shewn that it can and will resist the 'open defiance of their, predilections ; and! in Russia the resistance of the army is in staotaneous: destruction.
